Martin Lavelle, Senior Business Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago is requesting that you fill out a short survey (nine questions) in order to help him and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago better understand current business and economic conditions, especially with the threat of a government shutdown and the ongoing UAW strike.  The information received will be kept anonymous and will be added to other economic intelligence collected by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.  The summary of economic intelligence collected by the Federal Bank of Chicago will be published in the next edition of the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book on October 18th.  The Federal Reserve Beige Book is the Fed’s current update on economic conditions that’s published 2 weeks before each Federal Open Market Committee Meeting (FOMC).  If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact Martin Lavelle at mailto:martin.lavelle@chi.frb.org.

 Thank you for your willingness to participate, it’s greatly appreciated. Click here to take the survey!
